Directions
-
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and grease lightly with butter; set aside.
-
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup peanut butter and 2 tablespoons butter.
-
Microwave on high for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring once halfway through, until butter is melted and peanut butter is soft and smooth.
-
Stir in 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until well blended; set the peanut butter mixture aside.
-
In a large heatproof bowl, combine 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips, the remaining 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) of butter, 3.5 oz marshmallow creme, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
-
In a large heavy saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 5 oz evaporated milk.
-
Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil.
-
Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 6 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
-
Immediately pour the hot sugar mixture over the chocolate, butter, and marshmallow mixture in the large bowl.
-
Stir briskly and continuously until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well blended.
-
Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly to form the bottom layer.
-
Carefully spoon the reserved peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer, spreading it evenly to create the middle ribbon.
-
Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly to cover.
-
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and firm.
-
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 25 squares with a sharp knife.
